Several recent high-profile incidents in aviation, including the Alaska Airlines flight

emergency, have increased scrutiny on the industry, with many questioning how much it

prioritizes passenger safety. In this episode we speak to

William trackman former deputy assistant secretary for civil rights who

believe staffing shortages and

DEI hiring policies could be playing a role and who is currently involved in a

lawsuit against the FAA over the issue.

I'm Daily Wire, editor and chief John Bickley. It's Saturday April 20th and this is an extra edition of Morning Wire.

Joining us to examine the complexities facing the aviation industry and explore

pathways toward enhancing safety and restoring public confidence is

William Trackman, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights for the Trump Administration.

He's also involved in a lawsuit over alleged race discrimination at the FAA.

My pleasure, greetings from Denver, Colorado. So we've seen a lot of dangerous

incidents on airplanes hit the headlines recently. Can you go over some of those?
